Gill, who is India's Test and ODI captain, suffered a neck injury in the first Test of the two-match series against South Africa. The right-hander played just three balls before feeling pain in his neck following a sweep shot off the bowling of Simon Harmer. The 26-year-old had to be hospitalised, and he was eventually ruled out of the second Test.

South Africa completed a historic and dominant tour of India with a crushing 408-run victory in the second Test at Guwahati, sealing a 2-0 series sweep and handing India their biggest Test defeat ever in terms of runs.
